1'0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE PURSEGLOVE ADAMsoN, a Citizen of the United States, and

a resident of Easton, Northampton county,

Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Receptacles for Aclds, of whlch the following is a specification. 7

My invention relates to receptacles for hydrofiuoric acid and other corrosive substances, andhas for its Object to provide a very strong receptacle or bottle for the abovemdicated purpose.

The invention will be fully described hereinafter and the features of novelty pointed out in the appended claims. Reference is to be had to V e the accompanymg drawings, in wh1ch Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of a bottle 5 constructed in accordance with my invention, and Fig. 2 is a cross-section on line 2 2 of Fig. 1.

The body of the bottle may be made of glass, ceresine, or any other suitable material which is readily shaped or molded, and in the event the bottle is used as a container for hydrofluoric acid ceresine would be preferre r Y In the drawings'I have shown a bottle having a cylindrical body A with a reduced neck A, having a top A with a centralperted to receive the, stopper. The bottom A o the bottle is flat in the particular construction shown. contains a disk B, of wire-netting or other suitable resistant material having perforations. The cylindrical body A contains "embedded therein a sheet of wire-netting or other suitable material C, the edges of which are fastened together by soldering or otherat C, and this facilitates the formation of a I beadA on the bottle during the process of manufacture. The perforated. disk B is preferably located a little higher than the ower edge of the insertion C. As the insertion 0 and the bottom disk B are perforated,

, ess of manufacture extend through such insertion and bottom disk,'thus securely holding the said wire-nettings within the moldable material. The insertion C being made of a stiff resistant material will oppose any inward or crushing tendency, and thus render the bottle highly resistant to shocks, blows, or pressure applied from the Outside. i At the same time any internal pressure which might have a tendency to burst the bottle will be resisted by the'wire-netting. Similarly the bottom A is strengthened, and even a denting or deformation of the reinforced portion will not occur under ordinary j conditions' A bottle made according to my invention will therefore be strong enough to resist not only.strains such as might cause fracture or leakage, but even strains such as might only deform the bottle The upper portion of the bottle is not shown reinforced, and in practice it is not necessary that it should be reinforced, forthe reason that this upper portion isof smaller diameter than the reinforced part of the bottle and is therefore less exposed to injury.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-,

1. A bottle comprising a body portion of relatively large diameter and a reduced upper portion or neck portion, said body por tion being provided at its bottom with a bead, a continuous perforated strengtheningbody of a stiff material embedded in said body portion and provided with a beaded lower edge in the said head of the body portion, and a perforated disk embedded in the bottom of the bottle and located at a higher level than the bottom of said strengthening i body.

2. A receptacle having a continuous perforated resistant body embedded in its walls,

bottom and set at a distance 5 end of said resistant bod In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name in the presence of two subscribing witnesses. A
